i am having problem in creating a video player in flash via as3, the problem is that whenever i try to compile the project, the compiler error shows:
1120: Access of undefined property _stop.
1120: Access of undefined property _pause.
1120: Access of undefined property _play.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Button.
1120: Access of undefined property _prev.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Button.
1120: Access of undefined property _next.
And this keeps on going as much i've mentioned these objects, so please help me solve this. and am newbie so a bit hard for me to find the error.

And even i've converted this objects to button symbols.
Probably you forgot to assign instance name for the objects, which used as a _stop, _pause, _play buttons etc.
And also check the "Export for the ActionScript" flag in the properties in the library.

I have a DPAD in my game when the player holds down let's say the Left DPAD, if he moves his touch to the Up DPAD and let's go, the player continues going in the left direction.
It also works if you hold the a direction, lets say Up continue holding but move off the Up DPAD, sometimes you may continue going in that direction.
What I've tried to prevent this:
On direction clicks, trigger checks on whether your in motion, or
already going a different direction
Setting collisions to force these variables to become false; aka,
you hit something, inMotion = false, etc
That's about all I can think of on how to fix this.
Also, I use a lot of variables for my checks, is it better to change my functions to return booleans, or is this way fine? Just curious.

Before you even start to debug behaviors, you need to understand what algorithmic approach is. You have 4 similar pieces of code which differ in minor details and make your whole script too long and unreadable and hard to manage. Here's the guideline:
var isMoving:Boolean;
var Direction:Point = new Point;
var Buttons:Array = [Up, Down, Left, Right];
// Subscribe all buttons for the same handlers and behaviors.
for each (var aButton:InteractiveObject in Buttons)
{
aButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown);
aButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onUp);
aButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp);
}
function onDown(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// Figure which button was pressed.
switch (e.currentTarget)
{
case Up:
Direction.x = 0;
Direction.y = -1;
break;
case Down:
Direction.x = 0;
Direction.y = 1;
break;
case Left:
Direction.x = -1;
Direction.y = 0;
break;
case Up:
Direction.x = 1;
Direction.y = 0;
break;
}
// Now start moving Hero into the Direction.
if (!isMoving)
{
isMoving = true;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
}
}
function onFrame(e:Event):void
{
Hero.x += Direction.x;
Hero.y += Direction.y;
}
function onUp(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// If any of buttons is released or mouse out, stop moving Hero.
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
Direction.x = 0;
Direction.y = 0;
isMoving = false;
}
As you can see, the beauty of algorithmic approach is that you need to handle differently only things that need to be handled differently, in the example case (which is pretty similar to what you want to create) it is the block to set the movement direction. The rest of the code is identical for all the buttons and that's why the whole script is short and readable, easy to understand and manageable.
how can I call a function of flash events : MouseEvent in flash events keyboardEvent function
I am a biggner in as3 please help
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressed);
function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent){
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
{
if (keyMode == 0)
{
keyMode = 1;
**startFun(event);**
}
else if (keyMode == 1)
{
**checkfun(event);**
}
else if (keyMode == 2)
{
keyMode = 1;
**anotherPro(event);**
}
}
}
There is several ways, dispatch events, etc. I'll give you a simple example:
// or should be KEY_UP?
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressedHandler, false, 0, true);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, exampleMouseClickHandler, false, 0, true);
function exampleMouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//if necessary to pass any parameter, just need to change these mouseClickLogic() / keyPressLogic() methods
mouseClickLogic();
keyPressLogic();
}
function mouseClickLogic():void
{
//do something...
}
function keyPressedHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
//if necessary to pass any parameter, just need to change these mouseClickLogic() / keyPressLogic() methods
keyPressLogic();
mouseClickLogic();
}
function keyPressLogic():void
{
//to something...
}
You can use like that:
MouseEvent in flash events:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickStage);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,upStage);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,leaveStage);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownStage);
function clickStage(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("click Stage");
}
function upStage(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("up Stage");
}
function leaveStage(e:Event):void
{
trace("leave Stage");
}
function mouseDownStage(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("mouse Down Stage");
}
keyboardEvent function:
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace("Key Pressed: " + String.fromCharCode(event.charCode) + " (character code: " + event.charCode + ")");
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown);

Sorry if this question is a bit vague, but this has been driving me nuts recently. It's nothing too complicated, but all I want to do is have the variable 'targetVariable' be affected by a formula. The actual problem lies in the fact that the referenced variable, being 'masterVolume' in this case, is not getting affected by the formula, but rather 'targetVariable' instead. I run the 'makeSlider' function at the bottom of the script. Here's the code:
var masterVolume:Number = 0;
var panning:Number = 0;
function makeSlider(sliderType, X, Y, targetVariable) {
var sliderHandle:MovieClip = new sliderType();
addChild(sliderHandle);
sliderHandle.x = X;
sliderHandle.y = Y;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSlider);
function updateSlider(e:Event):void {
panning = (mouseX/(stage.stageWidth/2))-1;
targetVariable = ((sliderHandle.x-bar.x)/bar.width);
output.text = masterVolume.toString();
if (dragging == true && mouseX >= bar.x && mouseX <= (bar.x + bar.width)) {
sliderHandle.x = mouseX;
}
}
sliderHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag);
function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = true;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
function endDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = false;
}
}
function playSound(target, intensity:Number, pan:Number) {
var sound:Sound = new target();
var transformer:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(intensity, pan);
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel=sound.play();
channel.soundTransform = transformer;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, make);
function make(e:MouseEvent):void {
playSound(test, masterVolume, panning);
}
makeSlider(SliderHandle, bar.x, bar.y, masterVolume);
Okay, so I studied the Object class and found out that I could reference the variable by making it an object in the function. Here's the updated, working script:
var panning:Number = 0;
var masterVolume:Number = 0;
function makeSlider(sliderType, barType, soundType, hitBoxScale:Number, X, Y, targetVariable) {
var reference:Object = { targetVariable: 0 };
var slider:MovieClip = new sliderType;
var newBar:MovieClip = new barType;
addChild(newBar);
newBar.x = X;
newBar.y = Y;
addChild(slider);
slider.x = X;
slider.y = Y;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSlider);
function updateSlider(e:Event):void {
panning = (mouseX/(stage.stageWidth/2))-1;
reference.targetVariable = (slider.x-newBar.x)/newBar.width;
if (dragging == true && mouseX >= newBar.x && mouseX <= (newBar.x + newBar.width)) {
slider.x = mouseX;
}
if (reference.targetVariable <= 0.01) {
output.text = ("None");
}
if (reference.targetVariable >= 0.99) {
output.text = ("Max");
}
if (reference.targetVariable > 0.01 && reference.targetVariable < 0.99) {
output.text = (Math.round((reference.targetVariable*100))+"%").toString();
}
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag);
function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseY >= newBar.y-hitBoxScale && mouseY <= (newBar.y + newBar.height)+hitBoxScale) {
dragging = true;
}
}
slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDragFromSlider);
function beginDragFromSlider(e:MouseEvent):void {
dragging = true;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
function endDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (dragging == true) {
playSound(soundType, reference.targetVariable, 0);
}
dragging = false;
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, make);
function make(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (dragging == false) {
playSound(test, reference.targetVariable, panning);
}
}
}
function playSound(target, intensity:Number, pan:Number) {
var sound:Sound = new target();
var transformer:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(intensity, pan);
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel=sound.play();
channel.soundTransform = transformer;
}
makeSlider(defaultSlider, defaultBar, volumeIndicator, 10, 134, 211, masterVolume);
this follows on from my last question which I thought was answered but for some reason when I treat a child of my stage (display object) as a movieclip I can't then apply the usual functions that I want to:
var mc1:MovieClip = this.getChildByName("mc1") as MovieClip;
if(mc1) {
mc1.useHandCursor = true;
mc1.buttonMode = true;
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fillDriveway);
}
Any wisdom would greatly appreciated... and sorry for asking such a similar question as previous...
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the movieclip is placed on stage or actually converted to movieclip?
Try stage.getChildByName(). Where did you place this code? Inside a frame or inside a main document class? To be sure you can check the childs are added on stage and see what their names are.
You can use this code
for ( var i :int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++ )
{
babe = this.getChildAt( i );
if ( babe is MovieClip) {
trace( babe.name);
}
}
I've also seen this, not sure if it works.
if (stage.contains(mc1)) {
}
Wahoo! Figured it out!
By popping
var mc1:MovieClip = this.getChildByName("mc1") as MovieClip;
at the end of my AS I was referring to the child "mc1" before it existed - it isn't created until the user clicks somewhere on the "pic" movieclip. So the solution was to bung my actions for "mc1" (including declaring it as a MovieClip) into a separate function:
function createstartEndMC():void {
var startEnd:MovieClip = (this.getChildByName("mc1")) as MovieClip;
startEnd.useHandCursor = true;
startEnd.buttonMode = true;
startEnd.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fillDriveway);
}
and then to call this function AFTER "mc1" child is created:
function addNewPoint(e:MouseEvent):void {
n++;
pointNo.text = String(n);
if(n==1){
var nextPoint:MovieClip = new mcstart();
addChild(nextPoint);
nextPoint.name = "mc"+pointNo.text;
nextPoint.x = e.target.mouseX;
nextPoint.y = e.target.mouseY;
createstartEndMC();
}
Finally it works and "mc1" (or "startEnd" as I call it once it's created and made into an MC) finally behaves as a normal timeline MC should!
I'm so happy - thanks for all your guidance!

So i'm loading picture from xml, and adding them into a movieclip called cv which has a holder called cHolder. Right now the problem is that while the preloader shows it is loading, the cv(s) appeared already. Is there anyway to show all the cv only after the images have finish loading?
Thanks.
for each (var projectName:XML in projectAttributes)
{
//trace(projectName);
var projectDP:XMLList = projectInput.project.(#name == projectName).displayP;
//trace(projectDP);
var cv:MovieClip = new cView();
catNo += 1;
cv.name = "cv" + catNo;
cv.buttonMode = true;
if(catNo % 5 == 0)
{
catY += 137;
catX = -170;
cv.x = catX;
cv.y = catY;
}
else
{
cv.x = catX;
cv.y = catY;
catX += 112;
}
var imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(projectDP));
TweenLite.to(cv.cHolder, 1, {colorTransform:{tint:0x000000, tintAmount:0.8}});
cv.cHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
cv.ct.text = projectName;
projName.push(projectName);
this.addChild(cv);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageProg);
function imageProg(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
loader.visible = true;
var imageLoaded:Number = e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal*100;
loader.scaleX = imageLoaded/100;
}
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoad);
function imageLoad(e:Event):void
{
loader.visible = false;
}
First, don't put a function inside another function, this won't help for anything and is a bad habit :)
Declare two private variables:
var nImages:uint;
var loadedImages:uint;
Before the loop:
nImages = projectAttributes.length();
loadedImages = 0;
cv.visible = false;
and in the Event.COMPLETE listener:
function imageLoad(e:Event):void
{
loader.visible = false;
loadedImages++;
if (loadedImages == nImages)
{
cv.visible = true;
}
}
var count:int = 0;
var totalClips:int = 0;
cv.visible = false;
for each (var projectName:XML in projectAttributes)
{
++totalClips;
//trace(projectName);
var projectDP:XMLList = projectInput.project.(#name == projectName).displayP;
//trace(projectDP);
var cv:MovieClip = new cView();
catNo += 1;
cv.name = "cv" + catNo;
cv.buttonMode = true;
if(catNo % 5 == 0)
{
catY += 137;
catX = -170;
cv.x = catX;
cv.y = catY;
}
else
{
cv.x = catX;
cv.y = catY;
catX += 112;
}
var imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(projectDP));
TweenLite.to(cv.cHolder, 1, {colorTransform:{tint:0x000000, tintAmount:0.8}});
cv.cHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
cv.ct.text = projectName;
projName.push(projectName);
this.addChild(cv);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageProg);
function imageProg(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
loader.visible = true;
var imageLoaded:Number = e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal*100;
loader.scaleX = imageLoaded/100;
}
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoad);
function imageLoad(e:Event):void
{
++count;
if(count == totalClips){
cv.visible = true;
}
loader.visible = false;
}
}
So you might want to adapt things a little, in case I'm counting in the wrong spots etc for your implementation but as you can see the solution is simple, you count the total number of clips being processed for loading from the XML, then as the images are loaded and call the OnComplete callback, you increment another count until you've seen that you've loaded all processed images, and set the container to visible.
